While I have very good impression about Neudorf, my impression about Palliser Estate is frankly just so-so.  Of all the Palliser Estate wines I tried including Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, I think they are just average.  The wines are a bit too standard and lacking characters.

This bottle of 2008 Palliser Estate Pinot Noir cannot change my impression about Palliser Estate.  While the wine is not bad, it is certainly not exciting.  Just as Neudorf, this wine has very intense aromas but slightly alcoholic.  I found the fruit seems a bit too ripe and quite sweet in palate.  Personally, I still Online Pharmacy No Prescription Needed prefer Neudorf more.

(RP89) The 2008 Pinot Noir has a medium ruby-purple color and pronounced cherry and pomegranate aromas with supporting notes of cranberry, cloves and pepper plus a hint of fresh beet root. With medium-high acid, a medium level of velvety tannins and moderate concentration, it gives a long red berry laced finish. Drink it now to 2015.    Wine Advocate # 191 Oct 2010
